I would say the events clubs etc were lacking. Mostly because small student position and my school was considered a commuter school. Most students lived off campus, usually different cities from the university. And then due to Covid, I spent the last two years of my program studying abroad so I did not have much opportunity to participate in events. Though after Covid, I can see the university doing more events from social media

There were multiple accommodations. Some more expensive than others. I can’t comment on the accommodation much because it has drastically changed year to year. I paid about 7000 Canadian dollars for my first year on residence. After that I moved to a house where I was paying 575 CAD per month. It was a whole house with 4 rooms. Everyone paid the same amount and it was one person per room. Due to rent control, we locked that price because we didn’t move. Now we moved out and the place goes for 1000 CAD per room.

Ontario Tech University's campus provides modern and well-equipped classrooms, research facilities, laboratories, libraries, and collaborative spaces. There are tonnes of welcoming clubs from cooking to robotics.

When it's sharing, it can range from 300 - 500 CAD. Single rooms are around 700-900 CAD.

If i talk about Ontario Tech specifically, its not that old for a university. Canadian universities are like old, but Ontario Teach was established around 20 years ago. They have the latest equipment. If i talk about amenities, there are gymnasium, there is a walk-in clinic on the campus, ice center, soccer center, etc. There is fresh week, which is like orientation week, which has concerts and all. we have more than 110 clubs. For extra curriculars, we can go for night-out in the city. The campus nearby is having a lot of amenities, food, gas station, etc.

The place i was staying in, it was a 6 bedroom hall kitchen kind of apartment. I had people from different nationalities- India, Nepal, Philippines, and Bangladesh. There is a grad house, which is a much more posh apartment which charges around C$800 per month. The one where i stayed, they used to charge C$ 470-480 per month. Finding houses is not that difficult.

I weighed my options, and this school was the closest to home, at a moderate price. They also offer free public transportation as part of the student ID and access to a gym. The program was very good (as per upper-year students experiences), and the campus is beautiful and new

It was a good prep for med school as I was told by recent graduates and alumni. I also read several forums online that detailed the advantages and disadvantages of the program which includes commute for me personally.

UOIT is one of the closest universities that offers the med lab program to where i live. The program is only offered at about 5 colleges/universities in Ontario. I also opted for the university over the college program as obtaining a bachelors degree will open more opportunities for myself in the future.

This school is right in my home neighborhood so it is a perfect choice. Also, it is more hands-on with the students. It's easier to become familiar with the profs to create relationships with your peers.

It was close to home and it had a specific Legal Studies program, which is what I wanted to do before law school, which I hope to attend after my undergraduate degree. It is also more affordable than some other schools in Ontario.
